It’s one of my favorite games of all time. Unfortunately, like Myst, once you’ve played through, you know too much to truly appreciate it again. Wish there were more games like this.

Is there any replay value in a "rewatching a movie with a twist at the end and noticing all the signs this time" way?

The Outer Wilds isn't linear, I know exactly what I need to know to end the game, the purpose of your journey is to discover that yourself. The game is about exploration and it just isn't the same as the first time.

The only way that I have managed to re-experience the game is by watching others play it, it isn't the same although close enough.

It's also mostly reading, which is hard to do over again compared to passive cutscenes
